I was pleased to finish this quilt recently and give it to my mom. It's a Kim Diehl pattern from the April 2014 Fons and Porter magazine. I machine quilted it on my Juki machine
I wasn't sure how to quilt the appliqued center blocks. In the end I learned that's it's not too difficult to free motion quilt outlining around the appliqué shapes just like I would do if I was handquilting.
After that the borders were easy and fun.
These pictures are all square... I recently changed Iphones and lost a month's worth of pictures in the process. Thankfully I had posted these pictures on Instagram so I was able to get them back from there.
I gave it to my Mom last week when she was visiting. I think she liked it :0)
The last 2 blocks of Hospital Sketches were quick to stitch up. I'm a bit sad that the BOM is finished now. It was fun to look forward to each new block release.
I really like the triple tulip block.
I changed around the final block a bit. There was a picture of all 9 blocks together but I lost it too. I will have to lay the blocks out again for a complete picture again soon.
This delightful little doll quilt arrived in the mail from Deb Anger from across Canada in the doll quilt swap I participated in. The pieces are tiny! I love these little trees.
It was beautifully handquilted as well and has wonderful texture.
Happy Quilting!!
